One of Flamengo's leading players, right-back Léo Moura, welcomed the club's move to Granja Comary in Teresópolis. He recalls that the Gávea team's recent visits to the Brazilian National Team's training center were quite fruitful.

- "If we have to leave Rio, it will be good for us all to be together and thinking about the state final. The other times we went out, it worked out well, and this time it will work out well too. The coaching staff and the board know what they're doing. With this week without a game, we're taking the opportunity to spend time with family, especially because we know that from now on, that will be increasingly rare."

For the full-back, the 3-0 away victory over Cienciano will be important to give the red-black team confidence for the next challenge, against Coronel Bolognesi, on Wednesday, at Maracanã.

- "The group today is much more mature than last year. We learned a lot from the 2007 Libertadores and now we understand how important it is to play well away from home. The victory we had there in Peru gave us even more confidence that we can do well even without being close to our fans. We will approach the match against Bolognesi with all seriousness because it is important to finish in the best possible position. For the next stages this could be decisive."

Léo doesn't believe that the Peruvian team will play violently against the Flamengo team.

- "Bolognesi is not a violent team. We have nothing to worry about in that regard, and we also can't think that it will be a luxurious training session. It could, yes, be a preparation for the final games of the state championship."\ The player has been unwell in recent days, but trained this morning and says he is 100% again.\

- "Suddenly I felt really bad. It's a good thing there's no game this week, because it would be difficult to participate. I ate well, just with my mom's food and I'm good enough to train and play again."
